Our happy couples

Real weddings, in our couples' own words, with the florals we designed for each day.

Laura & Alexandra

Dramatic florals, elegant styling and a day they made their own

Minterne HouseAugust 2026

We first met Laura and Alexandra at a wedding fair, and around six months before their wedding they came to our showroom to start bringing their ideas together.

They already had a strong sense of style and loved the drama and character of Minterne House. The aim was to complement the venue rather than compete with it, using florals and styling to create something that felt dramatic, elegant and completely personal to them.

They chose a beautiful collection of our florals, including two statement backdrops, a mantelpiece arrangement, centrepieces and all of their personal flowers, from bouquets to buttonholes.

They also had a few pieces of their own, so we helped fill in the gaps with carefully chosen hire items including our charger plates, gold cutlery and statement mirror signs.

Laura and Alexandra chose to style the reception themselves the day before, with us returning on the morning of the wedding to dress their outdoor ceremony.

It was a lovely combination of hire, bespoke florals and a little styling support — giving them the freedom to create the day themselves, with us taking care of the floral details and finishing touches.

And the finished result? Exactly what they had imagined.

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for our incredible florals and decor. We were absolutely blown away by how breathtaking the florals were, the colours were perfect and had our guests absolutely speechless. There were people using them as backdrops for their own photos day and night! They brought such incredible drama to our day.

Every part of our experience with you has just been perfect, thank you thank you thank you!

We’ve already recommended you to several people and would do a million times over.

Karl & Steph

A colourful festival-style celebration

Rudge FarmJuly 2026

Karl and Steph were such fun from the moment we met. They wanted their wedding to feel like a festival — colourful, relaxed and full of personality — and they definitely weren’t afraid of more is more.

We created meadow-style florals throughout the day, from the ceremony space through to the reception, with colourful floral runners bringing the look across the tables. Their personal flowers were designed to match, including their bouquets and buttonholes.

They chose our peacock chairs for the two of them, added fun Mexican-inspired signage and, of course, plenty of disco balls. They also brought lots of their own pieces into the mix, which made the whole day feel even more personal and completely theirs.

We styled and set up the venue for them, bringing all of those different elements together into one colourful, flower-filled space.

It was bold, playful and full of personality — exactly what they had imagined. And we had so much fun creating it with them.

We honestly can’t thank you enough for everything you both did for us. You made it so so special and got everything spot on.

I had a funny conversation with the registrar about how real the flowers looked, which was a nice nerve distraction for me

Hannah & Dave

A colourful celebration, completely their own

The Shrubbery HotelJune 2026

For their second time around, Hannah and Dave knew exactly what they wanted — a fun, colourful wedding that reflected their personalities and felt completely personal to them.

The brief was simple: bright colour, lots of personality and no playing it safe.

For their intimate wedding at a boutique hotel, we created a custom floral backdrop, styled the tables with colourful bud vases and candles, and designed all of their personal florals to match. We even made a little floral collar for their dog.

They chose to have us take care of the full setup, bringing everything together so the hotel was ready for them to enjoy from the moment they arrived.

Our showroom visits were a dream because Hannah and Dave already had such a clear vision. We simply helped bring their ideas to life, adding our floral design experience and styling expertise to create a day that felt unmistakably theirs.

Bright, joyful and full of personality — exactly as it should be.

I cannot praise highly enough! From the first meet to the actual day we were so impressed with the friendly but professional service we got from Dawn! We chose our colours/theme and had added extras like bouquets which we paid to keep! On the day not only us but our guests were blown away! You truly transformed the space with beautiful blooms and quirky design ideas!

Thank you so much our day wouldn’t have been the same without you!

Ben & Sophie

Soft colour and timeless elegance at Penn Castle

Pennsylvania CastleJune 2026

Living abroad meant Ben and Sophie’s wedding plans came together a little more gradually, but that was never a problem. We were happy to work around them, keeping things simple and flexible as their plans developed.

They chose a soft, pretty palette of blush pinks and delicate blues, which worked beautifully against the grandeur of Penn Castle.

For the ceremony, our floral urns and plinths created a statement backdrop that felt right at home in such a beautiful setting. For the reception, we created a mix of high and low centrepieces, bringing height, colour and plenty of floral detail to the tables.

We also created all of their personal flowers, including Sophie’s bridal bouquet, designed to bring the same soft colour palette through every part of the day.

And one of our favourite details? Sophie chose to keep her bouquet as a treasured keepsake from the day — a lovely reminder of the flowers that helped make their wedding so special.

The flowers were stunning. They came out better than we could have ever imagined. Everybody kept on commenting on how amazing they looked.

We really did have the most amazing day, so thank you so much for everything you did from helping us with designing to all of the communication.
